Feather # 3 — Magpie

“I poured my heart into capturing the delicate beauty of this feather, using rich black and subtle grays to create soft, flowing transitions that mimic its natural elegance. The playful splashes of pink and yellow add bursts of life, reflecting growth and new beginnings. I used gentle brushstrokes to convey a sense of movement and freedom, inviting a sense of inspiration and fresh possibilities.”
